No-Bake Peanut Butter Lasagna is a creamy, layered dessert featuring rich peanut butter, fluffy cream cheese, crunchy cookie crust, and smooth vanilla pudding. This easy no-bake treat combines textures and flavors perfectly, making it ideal for parties and gatherings without the need to turn on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping, divided

Vanilla Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Press these evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a firm, crunchy layer that serves as the foundation of your lasagna.
  2. Mix the Peanut Butter Layer: In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to lighten this rich filling before spreading it evenly over the cookie base.
  3. Prepare the Vanilla Pudding Layer: Whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix with milk until thickened. Once set, layer this silky pudding over the peanut butter layer for a sweet, creamy contrast that balances flavors perfectly.
  4. Add the Remaining Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the vanilla pudding to create a light, fluffy top layer. This seals the lasagna and adds an inviting look to the dessert.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling allows every layer to meld, the cookie base to soften slightly, and flavors to deepen, resulting in a heavenly dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best blending results.
  • Press cookie crust firmly to ensure a stable base.
  • Fold whipped topping gently into the peanut butter layer to keep it light and airy.
  • Chilling is important to set the layers and improve flavor and texture.
  • Use a glass pan for easy layering visibility and a prettier presentation.
